Online Finnish classes with skilled Finnish tutors

I'm patient, considerate and attentive to what students are saying and asking, I try to encourage them and decrease any stress by means of using materials and teaching helps best suited for each particular student.

I'm a language mentor. I endeavour to support my pupils' foreign language acquisition. Do you want to practice your passive language skills? Or are you a beginner looking for guidance? As someone who has tutored pupils from all walks of life, from absolute beginners to advanced learners, I may be of help at any stage. My manner of proceeding during the lesson is to construct an image about my pupil's situation and provide advice. Although I'm quite familiar with grammar and other theory, I try to teach everything through context to make it meaningful. In that way learning is engaging and fun, and it's easier to wrap one's head around things. I value that the pupil enjoys the learning process and gets to freely choose the conversation topics.

Experienced and Certified Native Finnish Teacher I have been a certified teacher since 2014 and am specialized in teaching customized communicative Finnish. I specialize in teaching A1-A2 level adult students, helping them build a solid foundation in Finnish with clear explanations and practical exercises. With over 10 years of experience in specialized Finnish language instruction, I understand the challenges beginners face and how to overcome them. My students have found my lessons clear, well-structured, and encouraging; making their learning experience both effective and enjoyable. If you want to invest in yourself and want a teacher who will support you in learning Finnish with a structured and proven approach, I’d love to help.

I always support my students and believe that all of them can be successful. I implement an individual approach depending on the student's level of language knowledge, as well as their wishes and interests.

Multilingual Qualified Teacher | Special lessons for geeks! | open & patient I am a qualified English and French teacher but I fell in love with teaching Finnish! I have several years of teaching experience in different settings. I've taught Finnish on Italki and in a company teaching Finnish to internationals hoping to move to Finland. Before that, I've also taught French in secondary school and English in vocational school in Finland. When it comes to my teacher persona, I am a kind, patient open-minded person - not at all like your worst fear of a super-reserved, cold Finn. That said, I'm still a Finn!

As a teacher, I encourage my students to speak freely and make mistakes. I believe that the fear of making mistakes is what often holds us back from learning, so my main goal is to help you feel confident and relaxed when speaking. I’m engaging, patient, and flexible, and I always try to identify each student’s needs in order to tailor the class to the person.

As a teacher I'm very detail-oriented and I have a deep understanding of how Finnish works. I'm always enthusiastic for those moments of realization with my students when they come to understand confusing parts of Finnish. My students value my corrections and notes.

As a Community Tutor, I am approachable and easy to talk to. I like lessons where you learn a lot while also having fun. I'm currently studying to become a Finnish as a foreign language teacher.

As a teacher I am patient and interested in the students' progress. I am passionate about teaching Finnish and wish to make language learning interesting and fun! Notice: I do not have particular experience in teaching children. If you wish to book a lesson for your child, please contact me beforehand.

YKI-testi prep available! I believe that the most important part of language learning is speaking and communicating as much as possible. The more you do it, the more naturally you'll learn to express yourself in any language! Listening to native-level speech is also essential—especially the real, everyday language that people actually use. In Finnish, for instance, spoken language can be quite different from the formal version. I'm an empathetic and patient teacher, and I can easily adjust my speaking pace and style to suit any level. My lessons are relaxed and supportive, creating a safe space for learning. I'm always happy to tailor the lessons to each student's individual needs.

SALE! ALENNUS! Puhu kuin natiivi! Speak like a native! In my classes, we’ll focus on speaking Finnish to help you build confidence quickly.

I am a community tutor here on Italki. I have previously tutored pupils at primary schools, and I also tutor nurse students who are moving to Finland. I am a patient, kind and positive teacher. I believe in teaching things that you will actually be able to use in your life. I will help you with topics that you want to learn, and teach you both grammar and vocabulary in a balanced way. When it comes to Finnish, I can teach you both spoken and written Finnish, and we can even dabble in some slang that people use in daily conversations in the capital region.

Having climbed the “mountain of fluency” in two foreign languages, I know exactly how hard and frustrating the journey can be, but I also know how rewarding and satisfying finally making it to the top is. To me, wrapping your head around a completely new way of thinking that often comes with achieving fluency in a language is one of the best feelings I know, and I want to share it with you. As someone with a strong background in science, my specialty is scientific communication and technical writing. I also think my experience in grappling with abstract scientific concepts has taught me to explain grammatical concepts and semantic nuances in a concise and easily understandable way.

☆ Private and group lesson ☆ YKI preparation ☆ Puhekieli ☆ Kids, teens and adults - welcome! I have a degree in Social Science and I’m a certified teacher. I’ve worked with private students, schools, and companies, and I’ve also written language books for Finnish learners. I specialize in helping students not only learn the language but also settle into life in Finland. My lessons focus on practical, everyday communication, including colloquial Finnish. I also introduce students to Finnish culture, customs, and daily life to help them feel more at home. I personalize lessons for each student according to their needs and interests. I’m passionate about education and always strive to give my best to every student, helping them grow, settle in, and reach their goals.

Hyvää uutta vuotta! よいお年を！Happy New Year! I have teaching experience for Japanese students online and face-to-face, individual students and groups up to 11 persons in private language schools. I believe that speaking practice should be prioritized as early as possible in learning process. Using new words while speaking is a great way for memorizing them. I know how scary it is to speak in a language that you have just started studying. Don’t worry about making mistakes, we will practice at your space! I always tailor my lessons according to my students’ needs and interests, either it’s for applying for a school or work, for daily or traveling usage, or other. Note: I do not have particular experience in teaching children.

El finlandés tiene fama de ser un idioma difícil, pero yo creo que el problema no es la dificultad sino que tiene una lógica diferente a la del español o el inglés. Por eso, al principio hay que sumergirse en la estructura del idioma (qué es super interesante! y que además explica un poco la forma de ver el mundo de los finlandeses). (Ahora) esto no quiere decir que vamos a dejar la práctica de lado. Vamos a utilizar el idioma desde la primera clase.

I love learning languages myself, and it's inspiring to see others be inspired to learn as well. I want to encourage my students to not be afraid to make mistakes. My lessons will focus on conversational practice instead of formal lessons, but I want to help my students to improve in an efficient way and will correct their mistakes as needed.
